But Wichita’s Towne East Square is about to get an unusual new option: a health-food place with a Venezuelan twist.

Laura Bello plans to open The Green Place on Saturday in the space just vacated by Beard Papa’s, a cream puff store that had operated on the upper level of the mall, just outside Dillard’s, since 2013.

Bello said her restaurant will be a “healthy concept” that will offer salads, smoothies and detox juices. But it will also focus on a healthy version of a dish popular in Venezuela, where Bello grew up.
